Venues & Event Spaces near Calimesa, CA

“Farm Americana is a lovely place to bring kids and anyone else who enjoys animals and the outdoors. They have several different varieties of animals in an idyllic setting - alpacas, sheep, goats, pigs, emus, rabbits and chickens.Owners’ wife Helen was very welcoming and passionate about her impressive array of homemade products. We tried the ice cream which was all natural and organic, coming in several different flavors including some less common ones (matcha pistachio, saffron rose) which change with the seasons. She makes a matcha almond exfoliating hand cream from a family recipe that was sublime.A quiet getaway in Cherry Valley - such a gem. They are open on Friday through Sundays. Visit and you will not regret it.”

“We loved our stay at Stone Oak Manor! My husband and I won a free night after attending their Halloween event and entering a contest (which was also amazing!)Kirsten and Tim made us feel so welcome! The love and detail they put into the manor is admirable. Everything in the manor is preserved to it's original time period (I think 1925?) and I truly appreciated their stewardship of this home - you'll find lots of cool artifacts throughout the house.We were greeted with a bottle of wine on lavender-infused ice and a lovely charcuterie box (a Valentine's Day special). We spent the evening relaxing in the big foyer and Tim graciously made a fire for us! We also woke up to a gorgeous and hearty breakfast.If I could get married again, I would absolutely choose this special place as my venue. Regardless, we will be back to enjoy the best B&B vibes. Thank you, Kirsten and Tim!”

“I was so impressed today! We took my 10 y/o granddaughter for lessons today. We had taken her to another ranch previously. It was a wonderful experience! Her instructor was and will be Syd. She made it fun, and taught my granddaughter so much! Can’t wait to go back. It was clean and so well maintained!”

“The Fox was amazing through the entire process. We found them online and did a tour, I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the place. The more I interacted with the people there the more I loved it as well. We mostly worked with Richard and he was the best! He was available by phone and by text and would respond within a few hours of each text I sent. We were allowed to come back several times to take additional looks and get more details and ideas for the day of and to let our family tour the place as well once we had decided it was the one. I loved their package, it is almost all inclusive. They provided everything except the cake/dessert, photographer, attire, and stationary/signage (save the dates, invitations, thank you cards, welcome sign, any timeline or seating chart signs). We also used their in-house DJ for his DJ and lighting and it was the best decision. He was professional and helpful as well. He was so worth the money, he kept the night going and all the lighting really helped pull the whole room together. I do not have a single complaint for this place and I have no idea what would have made them better. I cannot say enough good things about the Fox or the people that work there. Everyone we came in contact with day of from Richard and Michelle to the waiters were all fabulous. They all worked so hard and worked well together to make the evening the best night of my life. My now husband and I loved everything about the night and the experience, it's been a little over 2 months and we still discuss how wonderful the Fox was to us and our guests. We also received several compliments on the location and how beautiful the place looked and how smoothly everything ran. I 100% recommend to everyone at least giving the place a look and getting details from them for any event or party.”

“Love the rodeo. We go every year. I wish they had more events. This year they wouldn't allow strollers. Not good for parents with babies. Not sure what that's about”

“Really nice scenery, but the road getting there is a bit hairy. 5 stars if it wasn't such a trek ...please Do Not drive after drinking you may not make it home”

“This orchard was wonderful for apple picking. It wasn't crowded and the workers were very friendly. They give you a bag and pole to use for picking. Highly recommend wearing pants as there are needly plants on the ground near the trees.”

“Serendipity Garden weddings is a beautiful venue! It's in the hills of Oak Glen and has beautiful mountains surrounding it so it makes for a naturally gorgeous backdrop. Our friends got married in early February and wanted their ceremony outside and it was COLD! To be fair they did let us know weeks in advance how to dress but that cold still got through lol The staff was very helpful and friendly and the little details in everything is what I noticed. I'm not if the event space sets up everything or not but it was well organized and beautifully decorated. There are some hills to get down to the ceremony and reception area and then leaving there was a climb. I loved the open bar (they had 3 signature drinks and whatever else people requested along with red and white wine) and little appetizers before the reception ( mini charcuterie cups, tomato soup and cheese croutons and Mac and cheese balls). There was a fire pit and some heating lamps that helped warmed you up a bit. Once inside the reception space was a bit tight in between seats but that was probably due to the number of guest they had. It was a barn like location and that as well was beautifully decorated. The salad and dinner( chicken, beef, mashed potatoes and veggies and roll) were very good and filling. The dance floor I do wish was bigger because it felt like everyone wanted to dance and at times you had to step off the floor since there was no room. I did appreciate the staff making sure we had enough food, drinks, refill or water and wedding cake once it was cut.”

“We held a wedding dinner for our son and new daughter-in-law in January and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.
From my first meeting with Krissy I knew we were in great hands. Her knowledge and experience helped create a memorable evening without any hitches.
The venue looked beautiful when we arrived and the staff was very friendly and professional. The food was delicious and we heard many compliments from our guests.
If you are looking for a venue with beautiful surroundings, great service and food, then check out The Pavilion at Chapman Ranch.”

“I had the pleasure of Capturing Alejandra & Roberts wedding at this Venue. Great views of San Bernardino National Forest, Orange groves on property, a pond filled with koi fish, a big lawn and concrete area for decor.”

“I will be taking my granddaughter, grandson for lessons. I've heard nothing but fantastic reviews from people who have experienced the ranch and the amazing people who run it”

“My family has enjoyed the pumpkin patch, and I've taken my kids on a field trip to the Christmas tree farm! Both experiences were delightful. It is expensive, so it won't be a tradition for our family, but it is certainly a treat to go! My children learned quite a bit about honey bees and a few species of trees. They enjoyed the animals & ride. Highly recommend for a whimsical & rustic adventure. Just be prepared to spend some money on the experience. Christmas trees are more expensive than Home Depot but cheaper than pop-up stands! Love supporting small businesses!”

“This place is a great place to walk and take pictures. Fresh air and just beautiful. The bathroom situation and very very long lines makes it hard to give it 5 stars. It's get very crowded so taking a picture is kind of hard unless your lucky. I didn't eat because of the long lines and lack of seating. We did take slot of pictures as a family which was the plan overall. So I say it was worth it s far as being a fun day of walking.”

“My wife and I got married here in July of '23 and are still thrilled with our decision. Everyone we've talked to that was there keeps commenting about how great the venue is and that we were lucky to find and have it for our day. Michelle and her staff did a fantastic job of making sure we had as perfect of a day as we could despite the heat. They have everything you could need to pull off your event.”

“Comfortable and clean, breakfast includes waffles, omelettes, and delicious coffee. The restaurant next door, gramma country kitchen, is great and highly recommended. It's a ten-minute drive from the outlet and the hotel parking lot is free.”
